Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
The Attributes of God
Many of the pent-up angry feelings and frustrations of our inner emotional tank are diffused as we review God's character and remind ourselves that He is for us, not against us.
The Psalmist’s Plea
Too many prayers suffer from timidity and vagueness. God invites us to pray with bold expectation when we ask for what He has promised or anticipate what we know to be His will.
A Song of Circumstance
Songs are usually born out of surrounding circumstances that so affect the thinking of the composer, he cannot help but burst forth with a melody and an accompanying set of lyrics describing his plight.
A Life beyond Compare
The central lesson in Psalm 1 is this: there is not the slightest similarity between the spiritually accelerating life of the righteous and the slowly eroding life of the wicked.
The Ungodly Life
A key observation in Psalm 1:4-6 is contrast. Don't miss the many things that are quite the opposite from the preceding verses. "The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away."
An Uncompromising Walk
I am impressed that we shall be something rather than do something as a result of delighting in and meditating on God's Word.
The Godly Life
In the first three verses of Psalm 1, the psalmist describes the one who chooses to live a righteous life, the one who consciously resists the subtle inroads of compromise.
Compromise and Erosion
The First Psalm is brief and simple, direct and profound. Even a casual reading of these six verses leads us to see that it is filled with contrasts between two different walks of life—the godly and the ungodly.
The Next Generation
If you have children, share your past mistakes with them and help them learn from your failures. They won’t think less of you; they’ll admire your authenticity. They will feel closer to you.
